This study found that in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, finasteride treatment reduced vascular endothelial growth factor expression and glomerular microvascular density compared to untreated diabetic mice.

This case report describes a 44-year-old patient with late-onset partial lipodystrophy, mental retardation, epilepsy, ichthyosis, and glomerulonephritis, linked to a 10 Mb duplication of chromosome region 5q31.3-5q32.1.

This article presents a case of Werner syndrome complicated by idiopathic membranous nephropathy, suggesting a possible but unproven genetic link between the two conditions.

This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

This case report describes a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus whose unusual nephrological presentation led to a diagnosis of C3 glomerulopathy, highlighting the importance of considering atypical findings to broaden diagnostic approaches.

This case report describes a pediatric patient with diabetes mellitus type 1 who uniquely also developed membranous glomerulonephritis and alopecia areata, highlighting a rare association of these autoimmune conditions.

This study suggests that dihydrotestosterone plays a key role in the development of chronic allograft nephropathy, and inhibiting androgens may improve long-term kidney transplant outcomes.

This case report describes a 4.5-year-old boy with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome linked to X-linked recessive ichthyosis, where remission was achieved using cyclosporine, suggesting STS deficiency as a potential genetic cause of the condition.

This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride led to morphological and functional kidney damage in rats, with more severe effects observed in the dutasteride group.

This study investigated the effects of nandrolone decanoate on adult rabbits and reported that administering 10 mg/kg for 15 days caused harmful histological changes in the heart, liver, and kidneys, including inflammation and tissue degeneration.

This study found that tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) is an effective and safer alternative to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for chronic hepatitis B, with fewer long-term side effects like nephrotoxicity and decreased bone density.

This study observed that chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis frequently experience dermatologic manifestations, with xerosis and white nail being the most common skin and nail changes noted in 74% and 56% of patients, respectively.

This study found that feminizing hormone therapy increased GFR in transgender individuals assigned male at birth, suggesting an effect of sex hormones on kidney hemodynamics, while masculinizing therapy showed a slight, nonsignificant decrease in GFR.

This study found evidence that polythelia pilosa, previously excluded from classification, should be reintroduced as it marks true aberrant mammary structures in men and hirsute women.

In this case report, a 14-year-old girl with nephrotic syndrome developed large edematous striae distensae due to high-dose steroid use and rapid body size increase from edema fluid accumulation.

Aδ-LTMRs have complex synapses with glycine, while Aβ-LTMRs have simpler ones.

S-1 treatment led to a complete response in pancreatic cancer with manageable side effects.

This study observed that class IV diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis was the most common form of lupus nephritis among the children studied, with remission achieved in a significant portion after treatment.

This study demonstrates that collagen XVII is crucial for normal glomerular development, is present in normal colon epithelia, and plays a role in carcinogenesis in colorectal and squamous cell cancers.

This medical case report describes a 69-year-old man's diagnosis and management of ANCA-associated vasculitis leading to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, ultimately treated with glucocorticoids and rituximab.

This thesis found that in lupus nephritis, traditional classification criteria may not apply to patients with glomerular deposits without clinical SLE, indicating distinct prognostic and diagnostic challenges.

This article discusses the FDA's decision not to approve 5α-reductase inhibitors for prostate cancer prevention, citing an increase in high-grade tumors but no mortality evidence, and reports no new results.

Metoprolol and propranolol may cause hair loss.

This study found that blocking interleukin-3 improved lupus nephritis symptoms in MRL/Ipr mice, suggesting IL-3 may play a role in the disease's progression.

This review discusses the lack of long-term clinical studies on metformin's cardiovascular benefits in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting lifestyle changes as a crucial management strategy for reducing associated risks.

This case study details a 57-year-old woman with symptoms of androgen excess, including rapid hair growth and temporal balding, alongside abnormal testosterone levels and a history of chronic renal failure.

Retinoic acid causes gland formation instead of hair in mouse skin by altering epidermal and dermal interactions.

In this study, daily treatment with angiotensin (1-7) significantly reduced disease severity in a mouse model of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, suggesting potential for Mas agonists in future therapies.

Diuretics help the body get rid of excess salt and water by acting on the kidneys in different ways.

In this study, a young Chinese male with a specific mitochondrial mutation was reported to have proteinuria and renal dysfunction, with stable kidney function after treatment over 23 months.
